Spring cleaning on the blogs

Spring is in the air… time for some blog cleaning. Today I installed version 2.5 of WordPress on this blog and on our family blog. This update contains a major rework of the admin area of the blog. You won’t see any spectacular changes, but I will 
On our family blog, I upgraded the Coppermine fotoalbum to the latest version. No major changes there, just security updates and bugfixes.
In the meantime, I added some plugins too: the All in one SEO pack and the WordPress database backup plugin.
All should be working fine now. If you find a bug, let me know.
Switching to WordPress…

I made a tough decision today. I decided to abandon SharePoint as a blogging tool, and I am switching to WordPress.
Why this move?
- the standard site template for blogs in SharePoint is rather limited, especially for the typical web 2.0 features (pingbacks, comments, tagging…)
- writing content is sometimes very painful. Ever tried embedding a Youtube video?
- there are some nice extensions (tag cloud, Enhanced blog Edition) but my hosting provider did not manage to install them properly
- SharePoint hosting costs me money
- I am using WordPress for our family blog and it is working great
- my friend Gert is giving great service for the php hosting.
